Katrina Kaif revealed what could be the ultimate beauty hack on Instagram

There’s not much that compares to the feeling of a refreshed face, especially early in the morning. While most of us have a five-six working day week, sometimes even Sundays demand for you to spring out of bed early and get things done (as opposed to binge watching your favourite TV series). Katrina Kaif knows this and she has her own trick to feeling fresh on an early weekend morning.

Kaif recently posted a video on her Facebook and Instagram pages of her dunking her face in a bowl of ice and water, multiple times, calling it her “own ice bucket challenge” and claiming that it’s how she gets herself to wake up on a working Sunday. Mumbai-based dermatologist Dr Madhuri Agarwal believes in the benefits of splashing ice water on your face as well. “Ice water is definitely better than hot water for your skin, especially the face,” says Dr Agarwal. “It makes the skin more taut and fresh as it improves blood circulation as well. It also reduces any redness or skin irritation. The skin is calmer and lines appear less visible after a cold-water splash.” However, she does suggest that you avoid rubbing ice cubes directly on your face as it can damage fine blood vessels. While you can dunk your face in ice water once in a while to get rid of puffy eyes, she suggests applying two-three ice cubes wrapped in a thin linen cloth instead.
